So my good pal Matt Nordstrom a.k.a. Matty a.k.a. MRN a.k.a. MR. N, he hit me up last week about playing the BUZZLIFE x SLEAZE monthly event Save The Bees, which has been taking place the final Friday of each month, all summer long. Originally I was going to play drum’n'bass, and maybe bring a couple breakbeat tunes with me.
Then Buzzlife announced Buzz is coming back (September 21st is the start, weekly Fridays at Fur, check their site for more).
And then this Save The Bees night was announced as the final Save The Bees night.
Anden I get notified that the venue has decided “NO DRUM’N'BASS!” Probably because club owners and managers do not know the difference from a deep D-Bridge tune from a technological meltdown Limewax tune… and the last time they had some drum’n'bass, they probably fixated on the burning depths of hell opening up from the speakers when some hard tune got played. So I am told “need you to play a breaks set, they’re saying no dnb.” Fine, I’m game, but I am going to play some other stuff too I think. Anyways, enough bitching from me, I actually really want to play some more drum’n'bass sets (and not hour long or tag team sets, unless they are 3+ hour tag teams).

Oh yeah, guess I should mention that for breakbeat bookings, I’m repping the Essential Breaks crew. Word ‘em up, son.
